Alright! It’s that time of year again and you have been given the green light on your work Christmas party budget, your already having flashbacks to last year where you were running frantic trying to get the entertainment for the night set up, and they were late, took an age to set up and didn’t really live up to the performance you expected, leaving you flustered and not being able to simply enjoy the night…

Not this year!

You are on a mission this year, and Soul Nights want to help you to nail it, so you can get your groove on for the night and actually enjoy the party this year!

So of course, there is a lot to arrange, you can get the venue on point, some of the best places we can recommend are:
• Doltone House
• Luna park
• Dock Side
• Event Centre Casino
• Ivy Ball Room
• Australian Technology park

Catering can be a mission, its better you use a venue that has it on site, so you can work with them, the places we mentioned above all have great options and catering partners, or ask the band they will definitely know of some awesome catering partners.

What do you need to advise the band on what to do?…. Not hard right just play awesome fun music it’s a work Christmas party! Soul Nights are more than capable of that!

But, there are a few things you would need to advise the band on though before getting things kicked off:

• How long will you need to book them for
• Will the Venue have lighting and Sound Equipment
• Parking for the band
• Food and Drinks for the band
• Specific song requests
• The schedule for the night, so the band know when they are up on stage and in between on sets.

So this year instead of being the glue holding things together, hire Soul Nights and be the life of the party! Get your groove on and have fun with the girls/guys and actually enjoy yourself!

Your Wedding is such a big occasion with so much to organise, there isn’t much else that actually tops it when it comes to making important decisions for an event We do believe that we have Four important things to make the wedding or event a success:

Venue

Food

Entertainment

MC/DJ

Soul Nights have been working in the Sydney wedding scene for a number of years now and we wanted to share with you some of the things you should look to check off before you look to pick your entertainment for your special night:

What style of music are you looking for – deciding on the kind of music that you would like is important, if you are looking for relaxing acoustics for the reception, or a more up beat party vide for your guest, if you know what kind of mood you want for the night you can then get a real idea of the band you want to find for the night. Soul nights can cater for to suit any event.

Budget – okay, so who ever heard of a wedding going to budget… but it is still a good move to get a budget in mind before looking at entertainment for your wedding, the more popular the band, the more members they have, where the event is located and how long you need them to perform for all contribute to the cost. Having a band like soul nights is all about the experience and quality they produce.

How many Guests or what Venue have you booked – its good to let the band know how many people will attend it will help them better gauge the size of you’re wedding night and size of the venue, this will help them set up the correctly for how many speakers, plus lighting for the band required at the venue.

Do you want the band to perform over dinner or just while guest are dancing – It is mainly a courtesy to the band to let them know if you would like them to perform during dinner so they can get the right song set geared up for you’re wedding.

Do you have a DJ or other music between the Band? – Gives the band a good idea of how to prepare for the night as they might need to coordinate setup and lighting etc with other entertainers for the night.

Have you picked a live bridal waltz – IF you have a bridal waltz in mind that you would like the band to perform, let them know from the offset, the more times they can practice the more on point it will be for the night.

There are a couple of other side notes to mention as well:

A run sheet for the evening that you can provide the band

A floor plan of the venue

Does the venue allow live entertainment

Bare in mind the band needs parking and meals for the night too.

Soul Nights have been working the wedding and corporate entertainment scene in Sydney for sometime, they also feature as regulars at some great venues in Sydney too, such as the Opera House Bar and Rocklilly

The Sydney live music scene, has a lot of talent on offer and with so many exceptional acts around there is a lot of quality options in terms of potentially hiring one of these groups for your next corporate event or private party..

So lets say you decide to start calling up a few of these guys bands and agents and your getting some prices and you are like why would this band be more expensive than the next?

The answer is really in the quality of the band, each act genuinely knows where they stand in terms of performance and atmosphere they bring to an event and it’s the stand out piece between having a band for the night or having high class professional entertainment for the evening.

When it comes to prices for band you get what you pay for, a band that is in the lower price ranges, they know that it is their pricing tier because they may not have a lot of experience, have some new members in the group and still getting their sound right, or they just haven’t established themselves.

What to expect from a Great Band..

An experienced band can keep a great tempo and not miss a beat, gauge what the crowd want and get people dancing, its genuinely an art that takes musicians years and years to perfect.

IF you are paying a premium for a band there is a genuine reason for it, the band likely has a really well-established group, performed high profile private gigs numerous times, has a local bar circuit they play with lots of fans and regulars, plus bring a amazing vibe to their events that make for a memorable evening.

A great band can make any type of event feel special regardless if it is a corporate event or if is a wedding, a great band can ensure you and the guest have an amazing time.

There are other aspects as well which are quite important, an experienced band have the capacity to understand how to read and understand a Run Sheet for the evening, this may sound candid, however having a band ready to go when you need them and on time to fit into a schedule for the evening, saves a lot of embarrassment – particularly if you have external clients at a high-profile corporate event.

Lastly style is really important, musician swag can differ but for a professional live act for a corporate gig you normally want them looking sharp and ready for business.

Soul Nights set the benchmark for premium high quality corporate entertainment in Sydney, the guys have al been performing together for over 10 years and have such an amazing diverse group to play all your favs.
